not sure where he gets that from but he does
Then, you need to do a lot more research before jumping on those who disagree with your opinion.
A regular constitutional convention is open to all issues the delegates want to bring.
An Article V Convention is supposedly limited to a pre-agreed upon list of amendments that 2/3 (?) of the state legislatures have approved.
The problem is that an 'article V' type meeting of a convention to improve the Articles of Confederation resulted in it being tossed out in favor of a completely new constitution. Can such happen at a new Article 5 Convention? No one really knows, because there has never been an Article 5 Convention under the current US Constitution. Many of us think it is a can of worms that could result in massive 'unintended consequences'.
